The long-term erosion of working-class support for Democrats reached a crisis for a party that views itself as the champion of workers.

    It’s pretty stupid to base your support of a party on what it used to be, not what it is now.

    Using your logic, you support the GOP because they elected Lincoln and ended slavery, right? It’s not like there’s been 160 years of history that might have changed it since, including things like the Southern Strategy and the “Moral Majority”, right?

      I know people who say they support the Republicans because of that un-sarcastically. Soo logic isn’t the strong suit of a majority of voters I think.
